    Brief Description of Research:

    As a Clinician Scientist and practicing Obstetrician, my research covers the spectrum from basic laboratory science to translational sciences and clinical trials during preconception and pregnancy. The main focus is understanding the normal physiological development and the pathophysiological impact of different environmental and maternal medical conditions on the placenta and fetus in utero, and the offspring during childhood.
